Kid in a Candy Shop
Remember I talked about giving thanks to the thread company who sponsored my QATV segment? Well? They asked me to make a piece for them in exchange for thread and acknowledgment at their trade shows. The thread came yesterday.
I have used rayon thread for several years, the sheen cannot be beat. The company I had been purchasing thread from stopped carrying th rayon because they cater to industrial embroidery companies and those folks like polyester for its hard wearing capabilities.
Robison-Anton markets their threads to both industrial and home sewers, and luckily for me and us!!! They have a full line of rayon threads, more than 450 colors!
They asked for a garden or landscape type pieces. They will get a bluebird. I have two weeks to finish it in, because it will be shown in Houston. Anyone going to Houston?
And in another bit of excitement, have any of you read this post of Pokey's?
Do I want to go to Houston? Yes! Make ATC's and see my piece hanging in Robison-Aton's stall? Yes!
